Compiler's notes
Ended by Employment Rights Act 2025 s.25(3), "Omit section 124 (limit of compensatory award etc).", commenced on 2027-01-01 by S.I. 2026/559 reg 3(a) ("section 25, to the extent not already in force;") subject to the transitional and saving provisions in reg 4. The value's last day, 2026-12-31, is READ from those two documents by the Gate 0 derivation (extract.IOL_TERMINAL), never stated here. Receipts: S.I. 2026/559 as made, https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2026/559/made/data.xml (sha256:ea8734a88232cf76a76e119e2004c139f782fdda047f192be1aeef87cf50a7c7); ERA 2025 s.25, https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2025/36/section/25/data.xml (sha256:d127f368f7b24d5c89db3d0292c211e7e30b16064241d71062e43deebd70f1b4). Neither is a source on the value — neither document prints the figure — so they are receipts for the event, not for the amount.
